Looper Review | Nerd Array

Rian Johnson’s Looper throws immediate comparison to his first feature film Brick (2005); they are both steady-paced, genre-centric stories drawing heavily on jargon and both star Joseph Gordon-Levitt. They also both play off plots that – were it not for skillful collaboration between director and actors – would pan out like soulless gimmicks dreamt up by a clever film student.
